Congrats to portfolio company Schematic on their $6.5M seed round, which we were honored to be a part of alongside friends at S3 Ventures, MHS Capital, and Active Capital 🎉 Schematic builds the entitlements and enforcement infrastructure that SaaS and AI companies need to move fast on pricing. Without it, every plan change, new tier, or custom deal requires an engineer to go in and move the walls. With it, marketing and sales can flip a switch. "Most companies build that enforcement infra themselves, often badly, and it becomes the thing that slows down every future monetization change. Schematic is the infrastructure that handles it, so engineering doesn't have to." — Fynn Glover, Schematic Co-founder & CEO On top of the raise, Schematic is partnering with Stripe to bring entitlements to Stripe Billing as a first-class primitive — a huge milestone. The monetization layer for AI companies is finally getting the infrastructure it deserves, and we couldn't be more stoked to be along for the ride 🙌 More from Crunchbase & Mary Ann Azevedo below in the comments ⬇️

Go Schematic, go 🎉
Software is happening at runtime now. Monetization has to happen there too. For most of the last two decades, pricing was seat-based and static. You could hard-code a few entitlements into your application and move on. It was tolerable. AI broke that. Costs and value now accrue at runtime, non-deterministically. Pricing has to be enforced at runtime too. A shadow enforcement system catching webhooks from a billing platform can't keep up. A CTO described his company's homegrown entitlements system to us recently: "It's a technology that no one really knows. Everyone's kind of scared of it. And we can't move with the pace we need as we shift into hybrid pricing models." Every company has an entitlements system. Most are brittle homegrown systems that hardcode billing state into the application. Every customer we've won built this themselves. Every one of them wishes they hadn't. Unless entitlements become a first-class primitive that companies aren't building and maintaining in-house, agile monetization doesn't happen. As a party of our launch week, today we're announcing $6.5M in new funding, bringing total funding to over $12M. Backed by S3 Ventures, MHS Capital, Active Capital, NextView Ventures, and Ritual Capital, with angels including the founders of LaunchDarkly, CrowdStrike, and Salesloft. Next week at Stripe Sessions we launch our Stripe App. Companies like Plotly implemented Schematic and now ship packaging changes in minutes, without code changes: grant overrides, bump limits, provision enterprise plans, launch new products with pay-as-you-go and credits. The choice we're offering. For engineering: your application shouldn't have to know the billing state of your customers. Entitlements should be enforced in your product at runtime via a streaming architecture. For product and GTM: you should be able to control monetization from configuration or MCP, not code. Pricing and packaging should be a growth lever the business can pull, not an engineering ticket. That's why we're building runtime monetization.

"My Claude Code setup is amazing for individual work. Then I need to collaborate on something, and the only workflow available to me is copy-paste." NextView Partner Melody Koh explores the implications of a developer tool becoming the default environment for non-coding knowledge work, and why the workflow still breaks the moment a second person needs to edit the same file. What's missing isn't more AI capability. It's versioning, shared context, and provenance for agent-native work, and whoever builds it defines the next platform.

Congratulations to portfolio company Primepoint on their $10M Seed round 🎉 We were proud to back this team — tackling one of construction's most persistent pain points — alongside friends at Navitas Capital and Penny Jar Capital 🏗️ "In construction, you have dozens of teams working across drawings, specs, and submittals, all of which need to be reconciled to deliver a product. That's where we saw the opportunity to build Primepoint, helping teams move faster without all the tedious work." — Hamid Palo, Co-founder & CPO Construction is a massive, underserved industry, and Primepoint is building the infrastructure to help teams work smarter.

Congratulations to NextView portfolio company WHOOP on their incredible $575M raise and $10.1B valuation! 🎉 🔥 When we invested in WHOOP's seed round back in 2013, Will Ahmed was running the company out of a dorm room. Today, waking up to a $10B+ valuation is an extraordinary moment - and yet, as Will put it, "it feels like we're still just getting started." NextView is honored to have been part of this journey from those earliest days. As Partner Lee Hower reflects, "It's been remarkable to watch the growth of WHOOP, as both a company and a user community." What makes WHOOP so special? It's both a product and a movement. Millions of people across the globe use WHOOP daily to optimize and improve their health - and the business behind it is experiencing accelerating growth while being cashflow profitable. That combination is rare and powerful. We've been proud backers - and proud users - every step of the way. The sky is the limit for WHOOP, and we can't wait to see what's next. 🚀 More from The New York Times linked in the comments below ⬇️

It's been remarkable to watch the growth of WHOOP, as both a company and a user community. As a product, millions of people across the globe use their WHOOP daily to optimize and improve their health in many ways. As a business WHOOP is experiencing accelerating growth and is cashflow profitable. Here at NextView Ventures we've been proud investors since the original seed round in 2013.
BREAKING: WHOOP RAISES $575M AT $10.1B VALUATION Today marks an important milestone for Whoop. We’ve raised $575M at a $10.1B valuation to accelerate our mission of unlocking human performance and healthspan globally. This round brings together an extraordinary group of investors that reflects both where we’ve come from and where we’re going. It was led by Collaborative Fund with participation from 2PointZero Group, Qatar Investment Authority, Mubadala, Abbott, Mayo Clinic, Macquarie Group, Glade Brook Capital Partners LLC, B-FLEXION, IVP, Foundry, Accomplice, Affinity Partners, Promus Ventures, and Bullhound Capital alongside a group of individual investors including Cristiano Ronaldo, LeBron James, Rory McIlroy, Virgil van Dijk, and Mathieu van der Poel. This investor group and this moment reflect a powerful evolution underway for Whoop and the broader healthcare market. Whoop was born in performance - trusted by the best athletes in the world to train, recover, and compete at the highest level. That foundation remains core to who we are. You see that in the iconic athlete investors joining this round. But it also represents our push into broader health. In the past 12 months, Whoop has received medical clearances, launched blood testing, and created a platform that has saved lives. Abbott and Mayo Clinic - two of the most respected and influential institutions in global healthcare - are now investors in Whoop. These are organizations that have shaped modern medicine. Their decision to partner with us is a clear validation of where our technology is headed. Healthcare systems around the world are reactive. For too long, they have waited for people to get sick, then intervene. Chronic disease is rising and costs continue to climb. At Whoop, we believe the future looks fundamentally different. We are building the most powerful, personal, preventive health platform in the world - powered by continuous biometric data, advanced analytics, and AI to help people understand their bodies and improve their health in real time. I am grateful to our team, our members, and our partners for believing in this vision. I’ve been building this company for 14 years and I’ve never been more excited for the future. Onwards! #WHOOP #financing #growth #health #wearables #hiring

"Every LLM is, at its core, a consensus machine. Your entire job isn't necessarily being automated. Your consensus work is." NextView Partner Melody Koh digs into 140 years of automation history and finds the same pattern every time: consensus work gets automated, the non-consensus frontier expands, and how much of your work falls into each category determines whether you get displaced, liberated, or just face a higher bar.

"Most of us have a mental model of how we're perceived. Most of us are at least a little wrong."
